Atlee shared his thoughts after watching Zoya Akhtar helmed The Archies that featured Suhana Khan, Agastya Nanda, Khushi Kapoor and others.
The Archies, starring Agastya Nanda, Khushi Kapoor, Suhana Khan, Vedang Raina, Mihir Ahuja, Aditi Saigal and Yuvraj Menda have finally released on December 7. The film that marks the highly-anticipated debut of Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana, Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya and Boney Kapoor’s daughter Khushi, has been receiving stellar reviews and now Atlee has joined that bandwagon to heap praises for the film.
Sharing his take on the film through his X(formerly Twitter) handle, Atlee wrote, “#thearchies was an exceptionally remarkable musical film directed by the highly skilled @zoieakhtar. The narrative was masterfully conveyed, with a seamless integration of artistic elements that can only be described as truly poetic.”The entire ensemble of actors delivered outstanding performances that left me in awe.”

Giving a shoutout to Suhana Khan, Atlee continued, “I must give a special shout-out to the phenomenal @suhanakhan2, whose performance was beyond amazing. Your dance moves were simply mind-blowing! And Khushi Kapoor, your acting was absolutely stunning. You brought so much depth to your character.’
Atlee also called Agastya Nanda, a breath of fresh air in the film, “Agastya Nanda, you were such a breath of fresh air in the film. Your portrayal was lovable and endearing. And let’s not forget the rest of the cast, who were all exceptional in their roles. Each and every one of them contributed to the brilliance of the film,” his review read.
The Jawan film-maker concluded his note by penning,”I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the entire team behind this masterpiece, as well as @NetflixIndia for bringing it to us. This film has truly left a lasting impression on me, and I can’t wait to watch it again.”
Set in 1960s India, the storyline revolves around Archie and the gang navigating romance, friendship, and the threat to a beloved park from developers.
The Showsha review of the film reads, “For many, The Archies comic series has been an integral part of their childhood. Rushing to stores to grab a copy of the comic book and letting your heart sway between Archie and Reggie is a core memory. While most of us have experienced the printed days of The Archies, many young adults have seen Archies through the lens of Riverdale, Netflix’s popular series, as well. Now, Bollywood director Zoya Akhtar has added a desi twist to The Archies in the form of a Netflix Indian original film which features several newbies including Agastya Nanda, Khushi Kapoor, Suhana Khan, Vedang Raina, Mihir Ahuja, Aditi Saigal and Yuvraj Menda.”
